遠慮するなよ
清水健太郎 Lyrics

The lyrics of "遠慮するなよ" by 清水健太郎 depict a conversation between two people who have grown apart over time. The singer, who seems to be the one initiating the conversation, expresses how he feels holding the other person's shoulders, hinting at their loneliness. He acknowledges that the other person may also love someone else, and in spite of that, tells them to be free and not to hold back anything. The first stanza ends with them falling, but the singer implies that they will get back up together.

The second stanza starts with the singer assuring the other person that if they trust each other, everything will go smoothly, however, he admits that it was a lie. He then mentions how time has changed things and how they can't just walk together without things going wrong. He also admits how both of them were too young to handle each other's hurt and how it made them fear touching each other's wounds. Nonetheless, he tells the other person to be free and not hold back anything.

The lyrics conclude with the singer admitting that the inevitable separation they have to endure would prevent them from having a future together. However, despite this, they should not hold back on their love.
